My local hifi shop had two speakersets in store, the Lektor 1 and the B&W 686. They gave me the opportunity to test them at home over the weekend. As I have a REL subwoofer, I don't care much about the lowfrequency range and that is the reason that I am looking for very small-size cabinets. Extensive listening tests (without the subwoofer) revealed to me that the Lektor was just a bit more transparent and gave a more pleasant bass than the B&W.
I'm very impressed with the quality of such a small speaker. It's even smaller than the B&W and also much cheaper (??? 340 versus ??? 450 per pair).
My experience complies with the review of both speakers which gives me full confidence that buying the Lektor is the right choice.

Up to their reputation definitely. Replaced my old Goodmans on my new Denon RCD-M37DAB. Woouaaouh ! So detailed....as much as my SD5s in the lounge. Bass a bit behind indeed but hey they're bookshelve boxes. Delighted.

just bought these to replace my old wharfdale 505.2 's
they were just too big. they are superb. a little lacking in the bass department but at a fifth the size im not disapointed. my nad 320bee drives them well. oh and of course the wifes happy the big black wharfs and stands have gone

Superb speakers that will blow you away. Great clarity, detail, timing and such an involving, open and dynamic sound from such small cabinets. If you want boomy bass look elsewhere. The bass is tight with plenty of detail and is not thin or tinny at all. Well worth a listen and certainly deserve a five star rating.

Sounds very promising !
Curious if the Lektor 2 is just as good.......
The B&W 685s speakers are superb performers for the money, and they are our current favourites at this price level
